Hi, my name is Kailas Balasubramanyam, created by Joseph. I have started building an awesome machine. It is a time machine that can take you to the future and the past. Also, it can take you to any planet in the universe. It is technically a mansion, because it has a fully stocked kitchen, bedrooms with walk-in closets, two pools, bathrooms with Jacuzzis, showers, and sinks, five TVs, a living room, den, and dining room. I will live in and use my invention in the future!

PROBLEM:
How Do We Build a Catapult?
ASK:
What is Our Challenge?
The Angry Bird Competition is on … Angry Bird and Piggy Friends unite! To retrieve your stolen eggs, Angry Birds, your team will need to build a catapult with only the materials provided to you, as outlined in the following steps of this “Small Group Challenge: Marshmallow Catapults”: Challenge: Each group will design and build a marshmallow catapult using the following materials: 1 meter of masking tape; 2 plastic cups; 4 rubber bands; 2 plastic spoons; 2 paper clips; 15 cm x 15 cm piece of cardboard; large (standard size) and small (mini size) marshmallows to launch. Goal: Launch a marshmallow at least 5 meters (in the air) and not outside of a ½ meter width. What is a Catapult?

A catapult is a destructive device used in the medieval times. It gets its power from pulling back and releasing. For my catapult, something I know I will need is a rubber band. I do not know what else.
IMAGINE:
What are Some Solutions?
What is the Best Possible Solution?
Why did Our Team Choose This Solution?
PLAN:
What is a Diagram / Orthographic Design of Our Prototype?
CREATE:
What does Our Finished Construct Look Like?
IMPROVE:
What works, what doesn't work, and what could work better from Our Testing?
What are We going to do to address the Challenges We Faced with Our Construct?

How do We Catapult Ourselves into Problem Based Learning?
